Tie Fleece Baby Blankets

We showed you in a previous post how to knit your own baby blankets and I think that was a very helpful mini-guide for all the mothers out there that want to make something unique and special for their babies. Not to mention that the knitted blanket would be also a great present. Today, we’ll forget about sewing and we’ll make a fleece baby blanket that is (again) perfect for a gift or for your child. Oh, and did I mention that it is incredibly easy to manufacture?

These are the items that you will need to make a fleece baby blanket without sewing:

• fleece fabric – two pieces (You would need two pieces of fabric for each side of the blanket. You can have them with the same or different colors (I would recommend different colors). Tip: if you don’t want to have too much trouble cutting the fleece, make sure that it is not too thick)
• scissors – very sharp; they will become useless after you will use them for this fleece blanket
• paper clips
• tape

And these are the steps you have to follow in order to complete your fleece baby blanket:

1. After you have bought your two pieces of fleece fabric, cut them to equal pieces. The size of the material is your option.
2. Lay the pieces of fabric on top of each other, use the paper clips to hold them together and make sure that they don’t move.
3. Cut the four corners of the two pieces of material.

4. It’s time to start cutting the fringes of the fleece baby blanket. The length and wide of the fringes are up to you, but a 4 inch length and a 1 inch wide should be just fine. Also, try cutting as straight as you can, but that is not always a must. (you can use to ruler to make sure that the fringe has the right size).

5. Now you have to tie the fabrics together, but only the pieces that were cut (fringes, of course). Use one fringe from each fleece. Pay extra attention to this process so you don’t have to go back and untie. You can use one knot, but if you do a double one, it won’t untie that easy when you wash the blanket.

6. When one side of the blanket is ready,  flip it over and finish knotting the remaining fringes, as shown.
   

   Tie the Fringes on the Other Side Too

7. Now that one side of the blanket is ready, follow the steps for the other three remaining sides and this is how your baby blanket should look like in the end, if you have followed exactly these advices.

1. Make Colorful Baby Blankets

Knitted Baby Blanket

We talked in the previous post about the things you have to keep in mind when you want to buy your baby a blanket. But what if you are a person that holds the gift of knitting and sewing?

The answer is easy. You can make your own baby blanket, with fabrics, colors and printings at your choice.

In the first place, you have to choose about 12 oz. medium weight acrylic yarn. Soft and in pastel colors I think would be the right choice.

When it comes to knitting needles, i suggest using sizes 10 and 11. If you want to be sure of the one that suites you the best, knit some practice shapes with the both of them and after that you’ll know which one is more suitable for your baby blankets knitting process.

Don’t forget that some knitting stitch markers always come in hand. You will see below why.

Remember that this article is for those of you who know how to handle a knitting needle. This is how I think it will work best and this is the method that I used several times when I knitted baby blankets:

A. You have to cast on 120 stitches and make the border of the blanket by knitting 10 rows.

B. Try using this method when doing the next 1 to 10 rows. Row 1: Knit 7, then with the marker do the side border. To the last 7 stitches purl, mark the spot then Knit 7. On the second row, simply knit. For row 3, knit 7, purl to marker, the place another marker and knit 7. Row 5 is identical to row 3: knit 7, purl to marker, the place another marker and knit 7. For rows 6 to 10, Knit.

This method should be repeated in a total of 14 times, but be careful to end it with row 5. 10 rows should be knitted as in section A and then you can cast off the knitting. After you have read this article, knitting baby blankets doesn’t seem like a difficult job after all, right? Now you can make on your own perfect baby blankets for your little one or personalized baby blankets for when you need a present for baby showers.
